For so long the Vendor commences the Production of the Proposed Film Sequels/Prequels within the Option Period, the Vendor shall grant an option to the Purchaser (the “ Grant of Option by Vendor ”):

6

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in securities brokerage and margin financing, money lending, properties and securities investment, film distribution and exhibition, licensing and sublicensing of film rights, trade, wholesale and retail of optical products, watch and jewellery products.

The cost of the Film Library has been almost fully amortised in previous years and the carrying value of the Film Library is HK$3,682,532. The Company considers that the Disposal, if materialised, is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole, and in particular it would allow the Group to realise a one-off gain of approximately HK$173.77 million and a net proceeds of approximately HK$177.45 million from the Disposal respectively.

The Film Library, being the subject of the Disposal, accounts for only approximately 11.0% of the revenue generated from the video distribution, film distribution and exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights as one of the existing businesses of the Company. Apart from the Film Library, the Group still owns approximately 300 feature films, non-feature films, television series, documentaries and Chinese opera. Further, the post production of a film is being processed and the Company has several film projects on hand.

Upon the Third Completion, the Company intends to continue its existing businesses including film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights. Further, the remaining Group will continue the management of its operations in model and scale (such as number of staff) similar to that as before the Disposal. Hence, the Disposal will not result in significant scaling down nor cessation of the existing businesses of the Company. On the contrary, the Disposal will provide the Company with the opportunity to capture the residual value of the old Films.

The Group will apply a substantial part of the net proceeds from the Disposal to develop its securities trading and margin financing business. In addition, the Disposal will enable the Group to strengthen its financial position by applying part of the net proceeds to repay the Group’s borrowing. The Group aims to improve its financial performance by focusing on sustainable and profitable businesses such as securities brokerage and margin financing businesses and reducing its finance cost.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (including the Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the date of this announcement, other than the Disposal, the Company has not entered into any agreement, or reached any understanding, or is in any negotiation in relation to (a) any disposal of the Company’s remaining assets; and (b) any disposal or termination of the Company’s existing businesses.

7

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The net profits (both before and after taxation and extraordinary items) attributable to the Film Library for each of the financial year ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016 are HK$6,485,533 and HK$4,973,072, respectively.

Upon the Third Completion, the Group will cease to own the Film Library and the exploitation agreements relating to the Film Library entered into by the Vendor between the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the date of the Third Completion in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

It is estimated that, upon Completion, the Group will record a gain on disposal of approximately HK$173.77 million and receive net proceeds of the Disposal of approximately HK$177.45 million. The net proceeds is estimated based on the difference between the Consideration of RMB178,895,064 for the Disposal and (a) the Tax; and (b) the professional expenses arising from the Disposal. The Group intends to apply the net proceeds of the Disposal of approximately HK$177.45 million as follows:

  • (a) approximately HK$30 million will be used to repay the Group’s borrowings; and

  • (b) the remaining of the net proceeds of the Disposal of approximately HK$147.45 million will be used to develop the securities trading and margin financing business of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios as defined under the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceeds 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Hence, the Disposal is subject to the requirements for reporting, announcement and approval by the Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll under the Listing Rules. As no Shareholder has any material interest in the Disposal, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in the resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Transactions.

SGM

The SGM will be convened by the Company for the purpose of, among other things, seeking the approval from the Shareholders of the Transactions.

A circular containing, inter alia, (a) further details of the Disposal; (b) financial information of the Group; (c) financial information of the Film Library; (d) unaudited pro forma financial information of the remaining Group; (e) the valuation report of the Film Library; and (f) a notice of the SGM, will be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 1 February 2017 in accordance with the Listing Rules.
